   Also, Redis is being opened sourced via the AGPL, whereas Valkey is BSD licensed (like Redis used to be). They are both officially open source licenses, but BSD is much, much more permissive.

   Synadia might not be very good at encouraging community involvement in development and has perhaps not made an effort. I've watched most of the videos they've posted on youtube, and they seem very proud of keeping total control of

   For some applications especially those that benefit from cpu-bound parallelism, it is possible to write much faster code with Go than Node.js, e.g., consider the recent port of the Typescript compiler from Javascript to Go: - https:/&

    I evaluated a range of options and selected NATS for a project in Jan 2025, then spent every waking moment developing and launching this project over the last four months. Absolutely central to my choice of NATS was that it is a CNCF proje

    Totally. And yet rigorous proof is very difficult. Having done some mathematics involving nontrivial proofs, I respect even more how difficult rigor is.

    Last I checked, I think with nextjs, if you want to build once and deploy with different base paths (without having to rebuild), this is impossible, since the base path is hardcoded all over the build. This makes some forms of deployment o
